Hailey's POVI hurried into the hospital with Mia and Jessy trailing behind. My heart was pounding in my chest. The moment I stepped up to the nurse's desk, I blurted out, "Please, where’s Mrs. Edmond admitted?""Room 300," she said, barely glancing up.My hands were trembling as I opened the door. The sight of my mom, lying pale on the bed with oxygen tubes strapped to her face, hit me like a punch in the gut. Tears immediately welled up in my eyes. My dad rushed to me, and I clung to him, burying my face in his shoulder.Mia and Jessy, standing quietly behind me, spoke softly. "We’re sorry for this, sir."My dad nodded weakly. “It’s okay, thank you for coming.”I turned back toward my mom, her frail hand resting on the blanket. My chest tightened. How had I not known? How had they kept this from me? I approached her, my voice shaky. "Mom, please... don’t leave me. Stay with us." I squeezed her hand gently, barely able to hold back my sobs.Her eyes fluttered open. She was so weak, b
Hailey's POVThe game had barely started, but my mind was miles away. My gaze was glued to Mrs. Sophie, who seemed to be getting some twisted satisfaction out of smirking at me every other second. And Nikki? She was there too, lurking with that smug look plastered on her face, just waiting for me to mess up. I couldn’t let her get to me, but my heart was racing faster than the ball bouncing across the field."Hey, relax. Don’t let them get to you," Jessy whispered, patting my back. Mia nodded, biting her lip as she watched Paxton on the field, her eyes flickering with admiration. Paxton noticed us and flashed a confident smile in my direction. My breath hitched as I watched him effortlessly take control of the ball, dodging Dimitri’s kick and sending it soaring through the air.*Goal!* The crowd erupted in cheers, and before I knew it, I was clapping—loudly. Too loudly. I froze, realizing I was the only one applauding. Heat flooded my cheeks. *Oh geez, Hailey!*Paxton winked and blew
Hailey's POVPaxton’s sleek black car pulled up in front of the most luxurious restaurant in the city, and my stomach churned as I stepped out. The restaurant's grand entrance glowed warmly against the darkening sky, its golden lights and immaculate glass doors. I wasn’t sure why Paxton had brought me here for *this talk* he kept hinting about, but the anxious feeling in my chest told me it wasn’t going to be anything simple.We were seated at a table near the window, where the city’s lights sparkled in the background, but I tried to calm my nerves. The waiter came by to take our orders, and I could barely look him in the eye. My fingers fidgeted with the edge of my napkin, but I couldn’t focus on anything. Paxton was quiet, his face unreadable. The silence between us felt thick, almost suffocating, like we were standing on opposite sides of a cliff, waiting to see who would jump first.Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Ugh… so…” I mumbled, hoping he’d take the hint to start talki
Hailey's POVAs I stepped into the school gates, Paxton’s offer weighed heavily on my mind, replaying like a broken record. My feet slowed and I froze. His voice, his demand—everything kept rushing back, making my head spin. What was I about to do?"Are you okay?" Mia asked, brushing her hand against mine.I glanced at her and Jessy. With them beside me, I had nothing to fear... right? They had no idea the storm I was caught up in."We’ll catch you later after Physics, okay?" Jessy said, giving me a knowing look, probably noticing how distracted I was."Yeah, sure. I’ll meet you after." I forced a smile as they left.I needed to clear my head, so I headed straight to the library. The quiet, the smell of old books, and the soft hum of the air conditioning would help calm my nerves, or so I thought. I had barely sat down when a hand tapped my shoulder. My breath hitched as I turned.Paxton.Of course, it had to be him. Just seeing him made my chest tighten.Without a word, he handed me
Hailey POVThis chapter is strictly Rated 18+!“Mmhmm.” Paxton sits back in his chair and looks at me. “And you're wearing a lingerie.”I glance down at my clothes. “It’s meant nothing, just an underwear.”“Is it?” He moves, fast as a snake, and grabs the bottom of the bed, dragging me to the corner of the table, until my knees bump into his legs under the table and our chairs almost touch. He casually shifts to flip up my skirt, displaying my white panties. “Doesn’t look like you’re wearing a lingerie right now.”My skin heats and I nibble my bottom lip. “That’s because I’m not.”“Spread your legs.”I force myself to hesitate even though I want to do exactly as he commands. “Paxton,” I murmur. “We shouldn’t.”He looks over my shoulder in the direction of my phon and switched it off, understanding flashing across his handsome features. “I just want to look, Hailey that's all.”I move haltingly, bracing my hands on the chair behind me and slowly spreading my thighs. It takes a little man
Rated 18+Hailey's POVI move my fist as a counterpoint to the way he fucks my mouth, driven on by his low curses and moans. He looks pained as he stares down at me. “Jesus Christ, Hailey. Sweet fuck, suck me harder. I’m close.”I obey. I’m helpless to do anything but exactly what he wants me to. When he comes, I swallow him down, sucking his cock even as his grip loosens and it’s more like he’s hanging on for support than trying to hold me in place. He finally drags me off his cock with a curse and watches me with an almost strained expression as I lick my lips.“You might not be the only one who dies from fucking.” He pulls me to my feet and kisses me hard. We taste like each other, like the dirtiest kind of fucking, like the promise of more. He finally releases me and tucks his cock back in his pants, but the way his gaze skates over me says he’s considering another plan of attack. “Seeing you in that tiny skirt and knowing I can slip my hand under it whenever I want is addicting,
Hailey's POVAs soon as I got home, I slammed the door behind me, my heart still racing from everything that had just happened. **Oh, Hailey!** I mentally scolded myself. **You swore you wouldn’t have sex with him again, yet here you are—again.** The memory of Paxton’s touch lingered, sending a shiver down my spine, and I groaned inwardly.Jessy poked her head around the corner, a bright smile on her face. “Here, I made chicken sauce and rice for us,” she said, offering me a plate. Her enthusiasm contrasted sharply with the chaos swirling in my mind.“Thanks,” I muttered, taking the plate without much thought.“So,” Mia said, her voice rising with curiosity, “how did the plan go?” Her eyes sparkled as she leaned in, clearly expecting some grand revelation.I forced a smile, trying to play it cool. “It went well... nothing much.” My words felt flat, but I didn’t want them to know how rattled I really was. I hurriedly finished my food, barely tasting it. My mind was still back at Paxton
Chapter oneHailey's POVI stood in a discreet corner watching Paxton and his friends practice at the basketball court.I always wondered why they still enjoyed playing basketball even though we are no longer in high school.Everyone else has gone home but this has been my daily routine for the longest time.I had my eyes fixed only on Paxton, I wasn't seeing anyone else. Paxton could be described in one sentence and that is as the hottest guy in school. He is my long-time crush, I know it's not a wise decision to crush on someone like him because every other girl in the school was crushing on him as well.There's a high possibility that he might never notice me but that's not a problem to me, I'm okay with crushing from a distance.Suddenly, their ball flew in my direction and fell right in front of me.Oh no!I can’t run nor avoid the ball but suddenly, a thundered voice jittered me. “Watch out!!!”I squatted and covered my head in an instant. My heart drummed and I heared nothin
